Template and style guide for submission of extended abstracts to the

Template and style guide for submission of extended
abstracts to the II International Symposium of
Ecology
Once you have officially registered in the symposium
(fill the form and pay the fee) you can submitt up 2 (TWO)
extended abstract with your name as the first author.
Please note that the first author has to be registered
otherwise his/her abstract won’t be considered for the
evaluation process and pblishing in the proccedings.
However, there is no limit for co-authorship. You may make
up to two presentations: 2 posters or 1 poster and 1
oral. Submission of 2 abstracts does not guarantee
acceptance of both abstracts due to possible space
limitations or other considerations made by the scientific
committee.
This template and style guide detail the document
formatting for the extended abstract. Your extended
abstract should look exactly like this Style Guide in terms of
layout, margins, spacing, font, and section headings.
Following these guidelines we will ensure that all extended
abstracts have a uniform and standardized appearance and
that they will be reproduced accurately on the conference
proceedings. You must clearly indicate your abstract
number.
An extended abstract is not simply a long abstract. An
extended abstract should contain references, comparisons
to related work, proofs of key theorems, substantiation for
statements of fact, and other details found in an extended
paper. extended abstract should clearly specify the
problem(s), aims, results, advances, or other subject
matter that the extended abstract is addressing, the
expected contributions(s) of the work, a brief description of
the methodology adopted, results obtained, and the
conclusions resulting from the work. Some things that can
be omitted from an extended abstract include future work,
details of proofs or implementations that should seem
plausible to reviewers, and ramifications not relevant to the
key ideas of the abstract.
Please follow the instructions in this guide as closely
as possible so that your extended abstract can be
reproduced electronically. This guide includes a template
for your extended abstract and it also discusses general
issues such as the submittal process and general formatting
guidelines. If you use this document as your template,
please make sure you delete all the sections that are not
part of your extended abstract.

Title (Word Style: “Paper Title”). The title should
accurately, clearly, and concisely reflect the
emphasis and content of the extended abstract. The
title must be brief (75 characters or less) and
grammatically correct.
Author Name (Word Style: “Author”). Include all those who have
made substantial contributions to the work. Use first names, initials,
and surnames (e.g. John M. Smith). Separate authors with the same
address by a comma.
Author address Author address (Style: “Normal”). Include the author(s)’s affiliation
and address. Additional Author Name (Word Style: “Author”)
Summary (WORD STYLE: “HEADING 1”)
The summary should highlight key findings and compare
the results of your work to others as appropriate. Your
summary should be based on the evidence presented in
your extended abstract. Discuss how your work contributes
to other studies.
Introduction (WORD STYLE: “HEADING 1”)
Introduction Text Style: “Normal.” The introduction of your
extended abstract should state in no more than 700 words
the nature of the project or problem you are addressing
and why you are studying it. It should provide background
information about the work and its significance, while
highlighting other relevant literature and specifying how it
relates or differs from your work. You should also discuss
the scope and limitations of your study in the introduction.
BODY - DO NOT USE “BODY” AS A HEADING IF AT ALL
POSSIBLE - (WORD STYLE: “HEADING 1”)
Body Text Style: “Normal.” or “Regular”
The body of your extended abstract should follow the
introduction and may include METHODS, RESULTS AND
DISCUSSION. Thus, in this part you should include the
description of technological advances/innovations, or the
experimental methods, as well as the results, discussion,
and a conclusion. The approach/experimental section
should be descriptive enough that the reader can identify
what was done. References, if used, should be cited as
(SURNAME YEAR) or (SURNAME & SURNAME YEAR), or
(SURNAME et al. YEAR). The results and discussion sections
may be combined. Within the body of your extended
abstract, you can apply as many first-, second-, and thirdlevel headings as you need.
Acknowledgements (WORD STYLE: “HEADING 1”)
If your extended abstract contains acknowledgments, they
should be placed immediately after the summary or
conclusion but before the list of references.
References (WORD STYLE: “HEADING 1”) rence numbers.
The references section should immediately follow the
acknowledgments
section.

3- Formating
a- Language
all abstracts must be writen in English and authors
are responsible
for accuratelly checking the
b- Extended Abstract Length
The maximum file size of your extended abstract
should be 0.5 MB or less, including figures, tables, and
graphics. Extended abstracts should be at least three
pages, but not more than five pages in length. If your
extended abstract exceeds the file size limit, try converting
your original file to a PDF format before submitting it to
compress the size of the file.
c- Using Predefined Styles
The style elements identified in this section have been
defined for you to lend consistency to the group of papers
that comprise the conference proceedings. Times New
Roman is the preferred font because it is resident in very
similar forms in both Microsoft Word and WordPerfect.
(Macintosh users should use their default font). Use the
following levels of this font to describe the different sections
of your extended abstract:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Title: 14-point Times New Roman Bold
Author: 12-Point Times New Roman regular
Author adress: 10-Point Times New Roman regular
Heading 1: 12-POINT TIMES NEW ROMAN BOLD
Heading 2: 12-Point Times New Roman Bold
Heading 3: 10-Point Times New Roman Bold Italic
Heading 4: 10-Point Times New Roman Bold
Normal: 12-point Times New Roman
d- Margins
Use 1-inch margins for top, bottom, left and right
margins. Text should be left-justified. All pages should
include a page number on the bottom right corner of the
page. The number should be in “Normal” font style (12-pt
Times New Roman). The page footer should be positioned
0.5- inches from the bottom.
e- Line Spacing
Line spacing should be single (0 before and 0 after),
except for already predefined styles; leave 1 line space
between headings and body text, body text and next
heading; and between paragraphs.
f- Creating Equations with the Equation Editor
Formulas, equations, and text statements that include
special characters not found in the Symbol/Special
Characters selection windows must be created using either
the Microsoft Word or WordPerfect* Equation Editors.
Important note: Proper use of your word processor’s
equation editor is imperative for accurate reproduction of
important mathematical symbols. Use of alternative symbol
fonts native to your system (e.g., WordPerfect’s
‘Mathematical Symbols’ font) is unacceptable because we
may be unable to duplicate these fonts during the electronic
production process.
g- Tables
Tables must be created using the Microsoft Word table
functions and included as part of the text immediately after
being cited in the text. DO NOT place them at the end of
your extended abstract. For improved readability, keep
your tables as simple as possible. DO NOT insert any
unnecessary rows or columns. Use only 1-point rules to
separate table cells and do not apply any shading or insert
tab stops or indents. Whenever possible, please use the
portrait table format. It is permissible to reduce the point
size from 12-point to 10-point type within large tables. All
table titles should be placed immediately above the table,
but should be independent of the table itself. Tables should
be formatted as follows:
Table 1. Sample table.

* Bulleted and numbered lists should be created by using
the word processing toolbar functions for these items.
Any explanations of table data should immediately
follow the table and be formatted as plain body text. DO
NOT include table explanations within tables. Notations and
references, such as superscript letters and number
notations, are acceptable within the table and a legend
describing notations should follow directly beneath the
table.
h- Figures
Figures include charts, graphs, drawings, and line-art.
All figures and other graphics should be embedded, or
electronically placed, within the text immediately after the
first point of reference. DO NOT place them on separate
pages at the end of your extended abstract. All figures
must also be submitted with a resolution of at least 300
dpi. Figures must be labeled properly using Times New
Roman 12 pt font, with the X and Y axes clearly labeled,
and include a legend as appropriate (see the example
below). The figure title should be Times New Roman 12 pt
font and appear immediately under the figure.
